Default Re: Buying a new Laptop, Opinions?

Vampyr, I've been looking into Sony, and I like the F-Series a lot. Also, if I upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, it has that Fresh Start Option, where it doesn't put any of those trial programs on.

I am struggling with two things. The first one is the video card.

16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900) with NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ 310M GPU (512MB VRAM) [subtract $150.00]

or

# 16.4" VAIO Premium Display (1920x1080) with NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ GT 330M GPU (1GB VRAM)

The second one costs an extra $150.00, but it has 1 GB of VRAM, which would be ideal.


Also, there's no option for choosing the wireless card. I see nothing about that at all. And I can't find anywhere on the site that tells me the specs of the computer, so I can see which types of ports it has. If I could see all sides of the laptop, that wouldn't be a problem.


I've also been looking at Dell's Studio XPS laptops, but they don't have the keypads, which really sucks.


Just for the record, I've pretty much decided not to get the HP, even though it's the best deal with everything I want. I don't mind spending a little extra money on a Sony, Dell, or some other company, to get a more reliable laptop.
